At the end of dinner, Etta's friend showed an interest in going to a movie night at the center the next night. One of our Young Adults had asked us to show, again, our Mobster and Mormon Movie.
In the last four weeks we have shown this movie to a small group of three, a group of one, and a group of twenty teenagers celebrating the end of school. They were all Danish and understood the Mormon Utah Humor in this very American Film.

Kristine decided to invite Ette to our movie. They both know very little English. So that evening, we watched Mobsters and Mormons with Etta 85 years old, Kristine- 34 years, a Burmese Boy who had come to meet with the Missionaries. (He didn't speak English or Danish, he speaks Burmese). It was also our 45th wedding anniversary. Noone understood the movie. Etta said that she had plenty of things to do at home, so we watched only half of Mobsters...and then we went into the living room and had passion mouse chocolate cake and sandwiches.
It was a very unusual anniversary. We will never forget the night we had passion mouse chocolate cake with the "Picasso" lady from Odense. Thank you, Etta, for riding your bike to the center, in the rain to watch a movie that you could not understand, and then staying for dessert. I think the next movie that you might like is "Baptists at the Barbecue."

Happy Anniversary! That woman's house is crazy! I'm sure you could be there forever and not see everything.
ReplyDeleteHey a funny mormon movie we recently saw was called American Mormon. It's a documentry. Two RMs drive across country asking people about Mormons. It was cool and funny. I noticed that they made a second one: American Mormons in Europe doing the same thing but in Europe. Fun movies...I'm guessing you'll still need to speak English though.
Where do you get this movie in Denmark? Does the Church supply such educational material or did you have to bring it from home?
ReplyDeleteWe don't have such cerebral material here in Russia. We are content with "The Czars of Russia", "How the East Was Won", and "The Trans-Siberian Rail Road". Please let me know how I can participate in this "Art Festival".
Fun
